i know someone who wants to cut the tube on their 12 guage down for home protection. Who knows the length it can be past the forearm piece?
 
The barrel has to be 18" to be legal so that most everyday people can carry/use them.

Under 18" and it is a SBS (Short Barreled Shotgun) which falls in the weapons class AOW (All Other Weapons).

An A.O.W. is a weapon classification utilized by the B.A.T.F. to categorize and restrict those weapons that are not considered to be a rifle, pistol, or machinegun. An example of an A.O.W. is a short-barreled shotgun or a pen-gun. They are class III (NFA) items, and must be approved for transfer to individuals at the federal level (with a "form-4"). Cost to transfer= $5.00


S.B.S. - Short Barrel Shotgun
Short barrel shotguns will have a barrel less than 18", and will have a full stock. These guns require a $200.00 transfer tax.

Make sure when you're measuring close the action of the gun, put a cleaning rod down the barrel until it contacts the bolt face then mark the rod and measure that.
Also the entire weapon has to be at least 26 inches overall.
